Jillian & Neil's Pre-Wedding Shoot

It's a busy time with pre-wedding shoots at the moment, this time with Jillian & Neil. A typical cold wind, but we still got some great shots down at Lunan with the two of them....and not forgetting Oscar who also joined in! Looking forward to seeing them again for their wedding at the gorgeous Drumtochty Castle in a few weeks time!

Hope & Olivia

I first met Hope when she was 15 weeks old....that was a few years ago, and she now has a little sister Olivia, so it was time to get some new up to date shots done. A slight change from last time I saw her! Not shy, and definitely knows what she wants! Had a great afternoon with them both, and not forgetting Ruby the dog who also got roped into the shoot...

Andy & Isla's Pre-Wedding Shoot

This morning I met up with Andy & Isla who are getting married in August. We met at Coos' Cathedral in Aboyne where they are having their reception...having never been before it was a great chance to have a look around - so many spots for photography, so looking forward to it even more now!

Craig & Sara's Pre-Wedding Shoot

Another great shoot this week, this time it was Sara & Craig's pre-wedding shoot and we headed down to Lunan Bay...not quite ideal paddling weather, but they still went along with whatever I told them to do!! Look forward to showing you the rest of them soon guys!

Amber & Holly's Birthday Party

Last weekend saw us hosting a birthday photo party for Amber & Holly. Each of them got to bring their best friend along with them, and we did a whole mix of individuals & the friends together. After a fairly quiet start the girls soon woke up and lots of posing followed with dressing up and pj party to finish! Even big brother Liam got roped into getting a few photos done. Seemed to be a great success, being called their best birthday party ever...glad we could help!

Brogan

We recently had Brogan at the studio for her 2nd Baby to Toddler session...a few smiles after lots of games of peek-a-boo, but all in all a fairly serious session - I'm determined to capture some of the much talked about smiling and giggling one day! Maybe the next session!

Liam & Amy

Had a great time with Liam & Amy this morning...not so easy to photograph together, but we got there in the end after lots of gorgeous individuals!

The Crawford Family...

Saturday also saw us shooting a session with the Crawford Family...this session was a long time coming, but was definitely worth the wait!
